I've always been fascinated by Antarctica. It's almost like another alien planet hidden on our own planet, it is so remote and unknown.

This documentary not only looks at the geological aspects and history of discovering Antarctica, but also the establishment of scientific bases by the U.S., Britain and Russia that have potential dual-use or cover for military bases, military operations, and military research. The military strategic importance is explained and officially unexplored, but may be more developed than any of us realize. Even Imperial Japan and Nazi Germany had considered establishment of bases there to consolidate control of the Southern Pacific and Atlantic. And that it may be a lot more populated, and population-accommodating, than is widely thought.
